Information on the SFA website is organized by budget areas and by department under the Department/Budget Area list on our home page. Alternatively, the Search feature, located at the top of each web page, can be used to find more information on a topic.

The Search feature, located at the top of each web page, allows you to perform a Google search of documents on the SFA website. In addition, the Archives will list documents by report title, and fiscal or calendar year.

Click on the Join Our Email List button under the Quick Links menu on the home page. There, you can sign up to be notified by email about upcoming Senate Appropriations Subcommittee meetings or new publications. In addition, the page has links to subscribe to Senate and House standing committee meeting notices, and to check for scheduled committee meetings.

All current SFA publications, other than summaries and analyses of legislation, are available on this website. Summaries and analyses of legislation are available through the Bill & Analysis Search button located at the top of each web page. If you cannot find what you are looking for, or you would like to obtain paper copies of a publication, contact the SFA reception desk at 517-373-2768.

The exact timing varies each year, but in general it follows this time frame. The next fiscal year begins on October 1.

If you know the bill number, use the Bill & Analysis Search button located at the top of each web page. If you do not know the bill number, the Michigan Legislature's website allows you to search through each session going back to 1997-1998. (Please note: a bill is summarized only after being placed on a standing committee’s agenda. If a bill has been introduced very recently, or if no action has been taken on the bill, no summary or analysis may be available.)

Some publications will be listed on the home page under Featured Information. The SFA also sends out email notification of new publications. You can sign up for email notifications by selecting Join Our Email List under the Quick Links menu on the home page, where you can select topics of interest.
